The Series: A Hip Hop Collabo

The meaning of Hip Hop collabo has changed quite a bit over the years… Once known as a treat to the Hip Hop consumer… the Hip Hop collabo has become the norm in today’s Hip Hop… Albums are littered with features… they are no longer collabo’s… Today artist need each other to sell records… You can argue that there are no solo Hip Hop artist out there anymore… I’m all good with change but there was something special about artist with different styles complimenting each other on a track… It was almost like artist battled each other on the same track… There have been great collaborations in Hip Hop over the years… and Khari Digital will break down 10 in a Hip Hop collabo series… not greatest… just 10 that had meaning to the game and still resonate throughout the Hip Hop community today… Today we feature Tribe Called Quest with the “Senario” Remix

It just keeps getting better for Jay-Z… He can rock the mic… sell some clothes… broker deals for athletes… and sell some bubbly… His resume is impressive…

The newest item in the Jay-Z portfolio is the gilded Armand de Brignac (nicknamed “Ace of Spades”) brand of bubbly, which retails for $300 a pop but can go as high as $200,000…  A new company led by Jay Z acquired the brand from New York-based Sovereign Brands, which announced the sale this week.

“We are proud to announce that Sovereign Brands, a New York-based wine and spirits company owned by the Berish family, has sold its interest in the Armand de Brignac (‘Ace of Spades’) Champagne brand to a new company led by the globally-renowned Shawn ‘Jay Z’ Carter,” the company said in a statement.

The best-selling artist, label owner, entertainment mogul, sports agent and now-champagne maker is reportedly worth over $500 million, according to Forbes
